Tiger shark sonogram shows 20 babies baring their teeth in utero


The fierce and majestic tiger shark has long had a rough go when it comes to prenatal care. Emily's shark pups are highlighted for visibility in the video, but their teeth are still incredibly, terrifyingly visible even without an overlay. Tiger sharks are, after all, known for their sharp, highly serrated chompers — as well as the fact that they'll eat pretty much anything … including a horse's head. Expectant tiger sharks can now, for the first time in history, help researchers learn about their species and live to tell about it.
